My video plays on quicktime but crashes on iTunes

I have Mp4's that play on quicktime but when I try to play them on iTunes they crash. Is that an iTunes problem they have to fix with a new update or is there a fix for the app crash I don't know about? Please help, I'm trying to Airplay some movies. Mp4 and Mkv files.

Well well, it seems we'll be able to record the new songs after all. I found my own solution and quite reasonably so.
A little app called Music Converter took all my MP3's and converted them to an iTunes format in the click of a button. So simple in fact, even this Luddite managed to figure it out.
Hope this helps someone else and didn't waste anyone's time.
Cheers.

Importing MVI videos play on Ipad but not thru iTunes

I have used the import function to load photos/videos from a Canon G12 to view the results on the iPad. The videos are MVI format. All the files play fine on the iPad by going to the "All Imported" tab under photos. Including the videos! But if I try and load the same videos with no change in format going through iTunes either in the "Photos" tab or the "Movies" tab I get the file format error and they won't load.
So is the only way to load via iTunes is to convert the files to an MP4 format? Like HandBrake?
I guess I could continue to load them using the import photos path. I have been successful using a drive connected to the Apple adapter with the root file name DCIM.
Thanks
Mark

Maybe he means the copy protection has not been removed. But what would explain the video plays on the iPad?
Basically, the difference would how AirPlay (and how your TV) handles copy protected material.

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play in quicktime but not iTunes

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play with quicktime but not iTunes so I can't sync them

Th AVPlayerHD works well for playing other video types. You can transfer the videos via USB in the app tab in iTunes on your computer. When you open that tab when you have you iPad connected to the computer scroll down and you will see apps listed on the left and a blank on the right. Click on the app and then click on the add button under the blank window on the right. Then navigate to the video you want to play and it will transfer it to the iPad. I have about 14 movies on mine using AVPlayerHD. works very well. Also have VLC player (before it was yanked from the app store). Works about the same.
You can also get the app Air Video and stream the video to from your computer to the iPad, and even have Theo ad connected to the tv to watch on there. I do that all the time with my iPhone. Saves time with not having to sync movies all the time.

Using Lion, recent Movies with .mov extension will not play in Quicktime, but earlier ones taken with same camera (Kodak M530) will play fine.

Using Lion, recent Movies with .mov extension will not play in Quicktime, but earlier ones taken with same camera (Kodak M530) will play fine. I have got VLC which runs them fine but cannot get movies saved in iPhoto to play in VLC...and of course its a real bugger to copy moves from iPhoto to another folder; in fact if anyone can tell me how to do that I will accept defeat!

Some videos not playing in Quicktime but WILL play on VLC Player

Hello,
All of a sudden, some of my video files will not play on Quicktime. OT reads the length of the movie but when I click play, all I get is a black screen and no sound even though the progress bar rolls per usual. When I open the videos in my VLC Player, the play just fine. This is not with all of my movies. Some movies play fine in Quicktime. Also, if this helps, Final Cut X will not recognize these movie files for import. Am using Quicktime 10.1.
Thoughts? Help? Anyone?
Thanks,
John

The .dv videos that will NOT play:
I suspect you may have a number of problems here. The first is having elementary DV and PCM audio streams in a DV stream file container. (I.e. DV/DV audio and video stream data is normally stored in the DV file container while DV/PCM data is normally wrapped in the MOV file container.) The second problem is the fact that the DV video seems to be missing the aspect ratio "aware" information. As you can see from the playing file, the format line should read either
720 x 480 (640 x 480)
or
720 x 480 (853 x 480)
Based on this, I am wondering how old this file may be and/or how it was captured. (I.e., the playback problem may be due to file container not being compatible with the QT X player which, in fact, relies on an embedded aspect ratio parameter rather than the QT 7 embedded "Current Size" setting and is not expecting PCM audio to be contained in a DV stream file container.
These videos are older (almost 10 years old) and they were edited in iMovie HD.
In addition, there is a question (at least for me) as to whether the DV video streams are embedded sequentially or as alternative video tracks. (I.e., if you have QT 7 Pro installed, please post a copy of the "Properties" window.
Installed QT 7 and videos play fine. No issues. I don't have QT7 Pro.
Not sure if this will work, but if I had a copy of the non-playing file, the first thing I would try would be to open the file in MPEG Streamclip and re-save the data to a "real" MOV file container to see if it would then be playback compatible with the QT X player app.
Tried Streamclip and it will save as MOV but the size changes (from 640x480 to 720x480 and I get a stretched look. OT X will play it however. Tried to "export" using differrent formats but with mixed results. Sometimes I got sound but no video. I will continue to fiddle with settings but it doesn't seem like a reliable path to go down.
Could I be missing the codec component? Is there a way to check?
Not very likely if any files play have the same video compression format. Had the non-playing files been encoded with one of the HD DV codecs, then yes, that might have been a possibility whould could have been checked.
Would your answer be the same now that we know QT7 plays the videos without any issues?
Exported out to a .dv file. Format exact same as the working one above. Plays fine.
Of course. You exported the audio and video as a DV compressed data in DV stream file container. Thus, both the file format and compression format are now QT X compatible.
The container is a .dv. I did rename it to .mov at one point to see if that helped but got the same result.
Of course. Changing the file extension is like calling a cup of coffee a glass of coffee—i.e., the coffee is still in a cup. Basically, this only works if the data in the container is already compatible with the file container and the container is compatible with the player. For instance, H.264/AAC compressed data will play in either QT 7 or QT X players whether it is in an MOV, MP4, or M4V file container. On the other hand, "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 data won't play in the QT X v10.2 player with a VOB file extension but will play if you change the extension to TS or MPG. On the other hand, the VOB or MPG file (with the QT MPEG-2 playback codec component installed) will play in both QT 7 (without audio) and MPEG Streamclip while the TS file won't open in the QT 7 player but plays fine with audio in MPEG Streamclip.
I THINK I understand! : )
I do have a DropBox folder.
If you also have an online DropBox account, then yes, that would be a good method for posting large files. You then only have to post or email the URL to the people you want to have access to the data.
True. One of the issues is that I want to re-edit some of these files which means I need to get them into FCP. I know there is a workaround, i.e. importing them into iMovie like I did and then spitting them out again so they will play but I feel like I am losing quality that way. Aren't I? This was before I started saving projects so I could always go back into them. Plus, I really want to preserve the original files for backup sake.
Jon, thanks again for taking your time with me. Really apprecite it.

Why the video played in QuickTime Player only audio available and no picture?

Hi dear all, I need to play a video through QuickTime player 7.1.6, however there was only sound and black background shown, no picture. I have tried to play the video with Media Classic Player and it is totally fine.
The following shown the movie info:
Format: H.264 Decoder, 352x288. Millions
ACC, Stereo, 44.100 kHz
Firstly, I thought it is a problem on codec, but I have tried other movies in the same H264 codec, and it worked well.
As I need to import the movie into Cubase, so I must make this able to be played through QuickTime Player.
Appreciate much for the help!

Player version 7.1.6 is a very old version but it should play H264 / AAC videos without issue.

Video plays on Macs but not on PCs

I have a short movie on our web site. It plays just fine on our iMac, and I checked it out on another Mac at the local Apple store. However, it does not play properly on PCs. The movie window shows up, but the screen stays white. The audio plays just fine, but no video. This sounds like a derivation of the same problem others were having, but ours does fine in Safari but not in Explorer. I've made a new page, and exported the movie to iWeb from iMovie, but it still did not help. This is a new iMac that we just bought 2 months ago. Everything else on the web site works fine. The url is web.mac.com/sullyman5 . Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I lived in the D.C. area for nearly fifty years (twelve of them on the Mayo peninsula). I miss my Chesapeake Bay.
Your iMovie QuickTime file uses the H.264 Video codec (default for exports from it) and it requires the viewing machine, Mac or PC to have QuickTime version 7 installed to view it.

Web video plays on iPhone but gets error message when sent to Apple TV via AirPlay

I belong to a fee-based subscription video site. Videos play perfectly on my iMac, iPhone 4S, and iPad 1. However, when I try to play them on my Apple TV by sending them via AirPlay from my iPhone or iPad, I get the "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later." message. Videos from all other sites (YouTube, Facebook, other subscription sites) all work fine. I've tried restating, resetting, unplugging the Apple TV, cable router, and Airport Extreme. This problem affects both my Apple TV 2 and Apple TV 3. Any ideas why I'm having this trouble with video from this one site? Is there some kind of video format that works on an iPhone but not an Apple TV? Is the site perhaps purposely preventing AirPlay streaming?

Hairpants: I have the exact same problem with my iPhone, but only on certain Apple TV's. YouTube (via Safari) and TED (app) both play at home fine, but I get the "error occurred loading this content" on the ATV at work. Very frustrating.
Winston: I wouldn't think an app wouldn't "block" AirPlay, but rather wouldn't build support into the app. But I am not an app developer, so I'm just guessing. Example: the new YouTube app only support audio over AirPlay, not video. You don't get an error on your ATV, it just doesn't push the video data.

Videos play on iPhone, but not MacBook (page generated by 'Save for Web')

I have QT 10, and I wanted to post a video I made on a personal webpage. I used the 'save for web' option from within QT 10, and it generated the usual ugly HTML page, the MOV file, and the source files that I specified. I edited the HTML to make it look a bit prettier and added the extra content I wanted to have, and uploaded it to my webserver (page is located at http://www.mripatientsafety.com/NERHRM/Resources/NERHRM_TGilk_on_MRI_Safety.html).
The video played when I loaded it on my iPhone, but wouldn't load / display on my MacBook in either Firefox or Safari. I thought it might be something wrong with the MOV wrapper file, so I changed the HTML to skip the MOV and point directly to the MV4 file, but the exact same symptoms persist.
I don't do this often, but I have used the 'Save for Web' feature maybe a half-dozen times before, and I've never had this problem. At this point, I'm thinking that the problem might be:
I'm a dummy and goofed up a section of code and didn't realize it.
There's been updates to Firefox and Safari since the last time I tried this (perhaps a year ago) and they now are unfriendly with the way that QT 10 prepares the HTML.
I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can offer to help make sure that the video displays properly for the greatest number of viewers.
Thank you in advance.

Further update:
I am trying to import the files to my Macbook Pro (10.10.3) via Photos, and it will not allow me to import them.
I receiving the below error message:
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may to contain valid data).
Reason: The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9912.)
The file types are .mp4 and .mov
Any ideas or recommendations?
I have done a Hard reset, soft reset, and tried resetting network settings.
I have done a Manual Backup to computer and did a backup to iCloud- but I have not restored the iPhone yet, as I am not sure if the files are being backed up or not?
I also tried using a third party transfer app (AnyTrans) to transfer the files to my computer hard drive, but it would not allow the transfer and kept skipping the videos which won't play back (even though it recognizes them - but won't play them back).

Video plays in swfiles but not when uploaded to website

Hi, does anyone have any idea why videos embedded in a swf
file play okay in the swf file or when tested as a movie on the CS3
stage, but when uploaded to my website will not play? I am
completely baffled by this.
My website link is at
http://www.marykingmedia.com/marykingmediafive/index.html
On the Bolivia and Chile page the videos do not appear once
the video is uploaded to my website. I have no idea why this should
be when the actual videos play perfectly well within the swf file
itself. I have put the encoded flash videos inside the same folder
as the swf file and uploaded everything, but no joy.
The swf file is 2.97 MB; not sure if that would present any
problem or not once uploaded
My video on another project plays fine at
http://www.marykingmedia.com/marykingmediafour/index.html
Can anyone cast any light on what the problem is with my
South America project?
Thanking you all..

Hi xchanin, thanks for your feedback. I dont quite understand
what you mean by this part here ... but if you do that process a
couple of times (with the same .mov file) you get the same .flv but
the name of your video is incremented by one each time?
Pretty well much I followed this tutorial
http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/flash/building-flash-templates/adding- video/
I put a FLVPlayback component on my Flash stage.
I encoded my videos in the CS3 video encoder and followed the
settings given in the above tutorial link. I did not resize or crop
the videos, I set the quality to medium and I gave my videos a name
prior to encoding it.
After encoding the film, I highlighted the FLVPlayback
Component and in the parameters found the content path and then
linked that to my encoded videos one by one. Then I saved my
worked, played it in the movie tester and then I exported my swf
file to my Dreamweaver folder, but I did rename my exported file
(it is not the same name as my Fla file). Could that make a
difference? I also put my Flv videos in the same folder as my swf
file and uploaded them to my server. I put the swf file on my html
page and then uploaded that to my server. My website shows the swf
file but the videos do not appear at all. However, the videos do
appear in the actual swf file when I play that.
I would be grateful to know if you see anything wrong with my
working process here. Could the renaming of the exported file have
caused the problem?
Thanking you.

Flash videos play in preview, but not live website...

AVI file video plays too fast, but audio and noted length correct

I have a one minute AVI file. Premiere correctly says the frame rate is 29.97 and it is 60 seconds long. But when placed in the time line the video plays at about 6x speed and is finished in 10 seconds. The audio keeps playing for the correct 60 seconds. I rendered it and no change. Any ideas?
Thanks - Bruce

Does Streamclip allow you to choose between Type 1 and Type 2 DV AVI? If so then you want Type 2 in your conversions.

Video plays on PC but not my Macbook Pro-comes up as blank disc

Hello, I have a DVD with a video on it that plays fine on a PC but on my Macbook Pro it says that it's a blank DVD and will not play the video that is on the disc. The video plays on Windows Media Player when I open it on a PC, so I installed the newsest version of Flip4Mac thinking this would work, but the disc still shows up as a blank disc and cannot be played. Do I need a different software or is this something that cannot be fixed? I work in the legal field, so I got the DVD from an attorney, and I frequently tend to have problems opening videos on my macbook pro that come from the legal field.
Thanks!

What format is the video? Is it .wmv? Do the DVD's have any type of protection or encryption? This information will help in finding a solution.

Videos play on iPad, but not on Apple TV

I can watch a video on my iPad, but when I use AirPlay to send it to my Apple TV and then to my TV, I just get the rotating circle on the TV screen.I should say that this does not happen with all videos, just a small number. Also, my AppleTV is hard wired to my home network.
Any suggestions?

Maybe he means the copy protection has not been removed. But what would explain the video plays on the iPad?
Basically, the difference would how AirPlay (and how your TV) handles copy protected material.

Can't find my videos on the iPod - but there in iTunes??

The music videos & TV shows I've paid for show up fine where they are supposed to on my iPod. About 1/2 of my video podcasts are showing up (Tiki Bar, DigitalLife TV, Diggnation (what a waste of space). Others show up under "Video" in iTunes, but are either not copying over to my iPod or I can't find them (definitely not under Videos). Also - a home movie in .mov is not showing up, as well as a Tivo file I brought over and converted to MP4. I can't find any consistency in why some videos are not playing on the iPod but do in iTunes. Any ideas??

Did you get any message when syncing your iPod that some videos couldn't be copied over? The iPod can play a subset of the videos that iTunes & QuickTime can. Although there are other details, basically it amounts to a maximum resolution of 320x240 for h.264 codec videos & 480x480 for MPEG4 videos. If a different codec or a larger size was used in the video podcasts you are attempting to copy, they won't transfer.
Also, the iPod puts the videos into various categories that match those in iTunes. You might want to check the Video podcast section in both iTunes & the iPod to confirm they match.
